This from Scott Peterson:

Westchester & other Div 20 cos had been running a few still alarms before this fire. I arrived right after the still cos. Westchester 311 & one of his engs arrived together to find smoke coming from the center unit. Obviously, fire found in the center unit of a townhouse bldg. Cos used 2 lines, nice knockdown and no extension to either unit on the B & D sides. Great job by the Westchester guys & Chief Jim Adams! The fire was at 3044 Carlton Ct.

Still cos: Hillside Trk, Broadview Eng.

Box: Bellwood Eng, Stone Park Eng-RIT, Melrose Park Amb. Berkeley Engine C/Q.
